FAQ

What are the storage capacities available for the Cemco Auxiliary Silo – Portable? +

The Cemco Auxiliary Silo – Portable is available in two capacity options:

  • 75-ton capacity: Holds 470 barrels or approximately 1,900 cubic feet of material
  • 100-ton capacity: Provides additional storage for larger operations

Both models use the “barrel” measurement common in the cement industry, where 1 barrel equals 4 cubic feet, or roughly 300 pounds of aerated (“fluffed”) cement when pneumatically loaded.

How long does it take to set up the Cemco Auxiliary Silo – Portable on a job site? +

The Cemco Auxiliary Silo – Portable sets up in under an hour thanks to its hydraulic self-erecting system. The unit arrives as a single, self-contained load with all components pre-assembled and pre-wired. Two operators can typically complete the setup without requiring cranes or additional heavy equipment, significantly reducing mobilization costs and time.

What type of auger system does the silo include? +

The Cemco Auxiliary Silo – Portable includes a fully attached 10-inch auger that is run by a hydraulic motor. This auger system ensures smooth and efficient material transfer from the silo to your batch plant. The hydraulic motor quick-connects directly into compatible Cemco batch plants, eliminating complex installation procedures.

What equipment is the Cemco Auxiliary Silo – Portable designed to work with? +

The Cemco Auxiliary Silo – Portable integrates seamlessly with:

  • Cemco Model 300 Mobile Concrete Batch Plant (current model)
  • Cemco Model 275 Batch Plant (previous generation)
  • Other Cemco mobile concrete batching systems

The silo is specifically engineered to expand the storage capacity of Cemco’s self-erecting batch plant line, ensuring consistent material supply for high-production operations.

Does the Cemco Auxiliary Silo – Portable require external power to operate? +

No. The Cemco Auxiliary Silo – Portable operates using hydraulic power that quick-connects to the host batch plant’s hydraulic system. The batch plant itself is powered by a diesel engine (typically a John Deere unit), making the entire system self-contained and independent of external electrical sources. This makes it ideal for remote job sites or locations without reliable power infrastructure.

Can the silo be used for materials other than cement? +

Yes. While primarily designed for cement storage, the Cemco Auxiliary Silo can also store:

  • Fly ash
  • Other dry powder materials used in concrete production

The sealed design and dust collection system make it suitable for various powdered materials that require protection from moisture and contamination.

How is the silo transported to a job site? +

The Cemco Auxiliary Silo – Portable ships as a single, complete load with:

  • Fixed axle system
  • Standard fifth-wheel hookup for semi-truck towing
  • All wiring and hydraulic lines pre-installed

The unit is road-legal when transported in its lowered position and does not require special permits for standard highway transport in most jurisdictions. The silo must be completely empty during transport, as the axles are rated only for the empty unit weight.

What are the typical dimensions when the silo is in transport configuration? +

While exact dimensions vary by capacity, portable cement silos in this class typically maintain legal transport dimensions:

  • Width: 8 feet 6 inches
  • Height (lowered): Approximately 13 feet 6 inches
  • Length: 35-40 feet depending on configuration

These dimensions allow transport without oversize load permits in most regions, reducing mobilization costs.

Can the silo be relocated between job sites easily? +

Yes. The portable, self-erecting design makes relocation straightforward:

  1. Empty the silo completely
  2. Lower the unit hydraulically using the self-erecting system in reverse
  3. Secure all components for transport
  4. Tow to the new location using a standard fifth-wheel tractor
  5. Set up at the new site in under an hour

This mobility is a key advantage for contractors working on multiple projects or moving operations as work progresses.

Is a hydraulic leveling kit necessary for all installations? +

Not always, but it’s recommended for uneven terrain. The optional hydraulic leveling kit allows precise positioning on job sites with:

  • Sloped surfaces
  • Uneven ground conditions
  • Variable site topography

For relatively flat, prepared surfaces, the standard setup may be sufficient. The leveling system ensures proper material flow and structural stability when ground conditions are less than ideal.

What foundation or ground preparation is required? +

The silo is designed for temporary, mobile installations and does not require a permanent concrete foundation. However, the site should provide:

  • Reasonably level ground (or use the optional leveling kit)
  • Stable, compacted surface to support the loaded weight
  • Adequate clearance for setup and truck access
  • Proper drainage to prevent water accumulation around the base

The silo sits on its own support structure when erected, distributing weight across the footprint.

What routine maintenance does the auxiliary silo require? +

Regular maintenance includes:

  • Hydraulic system inspection: Check fluid levels, hoses, and connections
  • Auger system: Inspect for wear, ensure proper lubrication
  • Dust collection system: Clean or replace filters as needed
  • Safety features: Inspect level indicators, emergency stops, and access ladders
  • Structural inspection: Check welds, bolts, and support components
  • Paint and coatings: Touch up any damaged areas to prevent corrosion

Following Cemco’s maintenance schedule extends equipment life and ensures reliable operation.

How does the quality control process work for new silos? +

Each silo undergoes comprehensive testing, including setup and functional checks, before delivery. This ensures that:

  • All hydraulic systems operate correctly
  • The self-erecting mechanism functions smoothly
  • Auger and material handling systems work as designed
  • Safety features are properly installed and operational
  • The unit meets Cemco’s quality standards

This pre-delivery testing helps minimize startup issues when the equipment arrives at your job site.

Can I add an auxiliary silo to an existing Cemco batch plant from years ago? +

The Cemco Auxiliary Silo – Portable is designed to work with the Model 300 Mobile Concrete Batch Plant and earlier models. Compatibility with older Cemco plants is generally good, but verification is recommended. Contact Cemco at (855) 564-5855 or ConcreteIron at 817-837-9812 to confirm compatibility with your specific batch plant model and year.

What are the primary limitations or considerations when adding an auxiliary silo? +

Key considerations include:

  • Space requirements: Ensure adequate site space for both the batch plant and auxiliary silo
  • Material consumption rate: Match silo capacity to your production needs to avoid overfilling or frequent reloading
  • Transport logistics: Plan for delivery access and setup area
  • Dust control compliance: Verify that dust collection systems meet local environmental regulations
  • Operator training: Personnel need basic hydraulic system knowledge for setup and operation
  • Cement supply coordination: Plan bulk cement deliveries to match your expanded storage capacity

The Cemco Auxiliary Silo – Portable significantly increases operational efficiency but requires proper planning to maximize its benefits.
